SAINTS ALIVE!

There's no such thing as a straight "yes" or "no" answer these days...

All Saints have issued a statement that seems to say that NICOLE APPLETON will not, after all, leave the group, at least not in the immediate future.

Issued this afternoon, the statement from the band’s label London Records reads as follows:

“1998 hads been an amazing year for All Saints, so thanks to all the fans for their support,..It has also been tiring and at times very pressurised.

“We have been living in each other’s pockets, so the odd row has been inevitable. We are now taking time to reflect.

“We’re looking forward to some time off over Christmas to rest and recharge our batteries, ready to see al our fans on the 1999 UK tour. There will also be some new tracks which we are currently working on.”
